Hotmail in all new avataar

whim_gen · 27-07-2005, 11:24 PM

Microsoft is expected to begin its rollout of the next version of Hotmail, possibly as early as Wednesday. Code-named "Kahuna," this Hotmail update will sport a new interface, automatic inbox refreshing and a preview pane enabling users to read and respond to e-mail without ever leaving their inbox.

Included with the Hotmail upgrade is a bump of the storage space for free users to two gigabytes

sms_solver · 28-07-2005, 12:38 AM

I use hotmail/Yahoo/ and Gmail.

tuxfan · 28-07-2005, 11:25 AM

Who trusts M$? They can resort to their dirty tricks anytime they want :roll: I use a hotmail account simply because some friends are on MSN messenger

anandk · 28-07-2005, 05:09 PM

like hotmail. hardly junkmail filters are nice !

COLDROCK · 28-07-2005, 05:50 PM

I prefer hotmail to others anyday & if u get more free space then it is better.

whim_gen · 28-07-2005, 06:46 PM

I personally hate Hotmail coz the amount of spam i get.
I once heard Bill Gate$ gets about a million spam messages a day.
I guess those guys at M$ are redirecting all the spam to hotmail users

tuXian · 28-07-2005, 07:32 PM

will Indian users be again given a cold attention. I mean will it take months again for that to reflect for Indian hotmail users??

anubhav_har · 28-07-2005, 07:35 PM

no thanx.. yahoo gmail and rediff are ok...

ShekharPalash · 28-07-2005, 07:38 PM

got a mail invitation from AOL on my old AOL ID... they're giving 2GB space... and inteface sucks!!...

thts good... i just started getting feeling like... I hate this current hotmail interface... it's too slow even on high speed net... tht'll be good if MS make it lil bit like gmail interface.. with light colors, which looks good... and smooth edges...

mohit · 28-07-2005, 11:22 PM

ok thanx for the info .. just signed up for a hotmail a/c and luckily got the id i wanted ... if it improves i will use this as i dint get my desired id on gmail. btw right now gmail is d best ... (beware : gmail reads ur mails !!!!)

it_waaznt_me · 29-07-2005, 12:50 AM

Hmm.. Here are the Screenshots ..

chinmay · 29-07-2005, 08:15 AM

Hmm.. Yeah, one could never trust MS. All MS offers look charismatic but reality is just opposite. I would never keep Hotmail ( Kahuna or whatever) as my primary account. Though I can't totally ignore it because most of my friends are on MSN messeger. Gmail and Fastmail do the work for me

And yeah baby, I daily get around 10 spams on hotmail and I havent given my hotmail account ever on web. Just few personal friends know it

naveenchandran · 29-07-2005, 03:24 PM

I also have heard of some secret Hotmail test servers HMTEST dot COM

Netjunkie · 29-07-2005, 06:38 PM

I use both Hotmail & yahoo. I love both & I will have to wait & see how the new one from MS looks like.

Maverick340 · 29-07-2005, 07:14 PM

Gmail all the way...
Yahoo for the "other mails"
and hotmail for MSN msngr

QwertyManiac · 30-07-2005, 08:11 PM

I'll Never dream of it.

MSN is losing the battle of emails and i am on it's biggest enemy's side - Gmail.(2446 mb+)

Lol I think this sums it up nicely. I'd stay with gmail even if they increased the space to 5gb.

raasm287 · 30-07-2005, 11:47 PM

No way. hotmail's too slow with all the security.

vignesh · 31-07-2005, 08:28 PM

I LOVE GMAILespecially the gmail notifier in firefox !

QwertyManiac · 06-08-2005, 01:55 PM

I hate MSN and its usual blah-blah, the site too is very heavy...

Scorpion · 09-08-2005, 09:09 AM

Just checked my hotmail after about 2 months...
And they are still sruck at measly 2 MB?

Non-sense.
Gmail Rocks!
Yahoo has too many ads.

x10d · 17-08-2005, 10:56 PM

i have my shortest hotmail (msn) IDs

x10d<at>msn.com

&

o0p<at>msn.com (with 2GB mailbox) [regd in 2001 when msn registrations were open for a short time, and they boosted its Space to 2 GB recently]

if they also provide it with free POP access, i can consider using it !

expertno.1 · 18-08-2005, 09:26 PM

i will not shift dude

i love my gmail

ax3 · 23-08-2005, 12:13 PM

is hotmail getting paid ???

surewaugh · 25-08-2005, 02:18 AM

You must be kidding to me to switch over to hotmail...
infact i deactivated my hotmail account a long time back..

#/bin/sh · 25-08-2005, 08:01 PM

Will u make the switch from ur existing Gmail/Yahoo to Hotmail?>>

Oh, I've been wanting to leave the little bugger for ages. I barely use it anymore, although I must admit, Ver.7 (when it finally loads after exactly 3 days) it's quite decent... except for all the crap they are trying to make you sign-up for.

I hope google can implement all the good stuff and forget all the crap.

- or make it so you can disavle flash "winks" or enable them if you want, also create your own... reason being, flash is too powerfull to be able to just launch it on sombody... but if you could enable it with friends, that would be cool.

tuXian · 26-08-2005, 10:07 AM

I too have a MSN ID but its no diff from hotmail with same interface and stuck at 2 MB.

Who said MSN.com mail registrations are closed. They are still open and free. If you wanna know how then just PM me.

dotcompals · 28-08-2005, 07:19 PM

For ordinary user with a dial up connection Gmail is the best. As it takes absolutely no time to surf inside gmail, once logged in.

if you are having a faster conection Yahoo is the Best bet as it integrates all possible services.
